I see there are two intake kits (#63-1536 and #57-1536) from K&N for SRT10.
Any difference in these two?

Did anyone try Green Filters? in the past i have had much better results with them over K&N. I will order a set this week.

I just ordered mine from Jon and partsrack, they should be in shortly. If you give him a call , he'll be very helpful. Now I just need to do some additional reading on the install. I remember reading that the ventilation hose needed to be drilled out to 1/2 inch from 3/8 inch. I don't know if they fixed this problem or not.
Can anyone chime in.....did K&N fix this manufacturing defect? I was not told anything from Jon and partsrack about the defect.

I believe they have this taken care of. I purchased a K & N kit and had no issues, just plug and play. Just make sure you're not buying a 2 year old kit sitting on a shelf or you might have to drill some holes.

Well we'll see when I get it but I am assuming that Jon would not be selling a 2 year old system. At least I hope he would not........I'll take pictures and let you folks know.

I bought mine from Jon @ Parts Rack 2 weeks ago.
It is indeed "plug & play".
When removing the air-temp sensor, make sure you take your time. I heated the plastic with a blow dryer and then I sprayed WD-40 (very sparingly) around the grommet. It was a pain, but it did come out of the stock unit and go back in the K&N. Just be patient!

I noticed you are in LA. Dan Cragen at DC Performance installed a Green Filter on mine. He swears by them and feels they work better on the Gen III's than the K & N.

I have an early K&N that I would like to sell. It has drill-outs of ½” and ¼” which were recommended back then. As you can see from my signature, this kit was instrumental in helping me achieve a sub 12-second ¼ mile. I plan to return my car to 100% bone stock and see what I can turn in the upcoming season.
Please email me privately if anyone has interest.

Thanks for the input. But what about the correct part # for the K&N kit? Does any one know as to which part number is the later model K&N?

Exactly, i have dynoed many Mercedes with K&N and actually lost HP. With Green Filters we gained.

I also lost power with the K&N's. Went with the green filters...very happy.

I went with the S&B's from roe 80 for both, the fit was tight, If they would have came to me in the K&n box I would have never known they were s&b, very nice for the money.
We have tested all the kits. The Green Filters make the same power as all the other kits on our dyno. 5-7hp. The K&N may be better on modified engines.
